Phikwe Struck By Drug Shortage

This shortage was aggravated by failure to supply drugs by the Central Medical Stores. However, mayor Amogelang Mojuta says that the council has been given a waiver by the ministry to procure drugs from private pharmaceutical stores to ensure that the public continues to receive adequate medical services.

 
He added that the only problem that they encounter is that some drugs, especially those for hypertension or high blood pressure, and anti-diabetic medication, are not available in local pharmacies.
